Quick Update

So here's the deal: if you don't hear from me on the blog for a while, you know it's not that nothing has happened...on the contrary, it's that everything has been happening and I haven't had time to write about it!

The big news is that our Austin home finally sold -- hooray!  Now we're starting to take the first steps toward getting our own place here in Missouri.  Alfie has already put in his vote:  It needs a big, fenced yard! 

And yes...Alfie's been learning many new things...not the least of which is his trailing/tracking work.  Doesn't he look happy?


Now, in all honesty, Alfie has always been a super-enthusiastic worker for me...but I have never seen him work so wholeheartedly and eagerly as he does with his scent work.  It's almost like he can't believe I would really ask him to do something so fun!  All his scent "problems" have been very short and easy so far, as I just want to build on success.  We'll have to wait and see how he does as he goes along.  But for now, we're having a blast!

That's exciting news about your house! Being in limbo can be trying, I'm sure, so it's great that you'll be able to settle in soon, hopefully. I love house hunting--I hope you do, too. A big fenced yard is non-negotiable!
